Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

Hey,

I was wondering whether its possible to run the george command "tv_writetextfile" without the permission dialog appearing and blocking execution?

I'm maybe asking too much, but would you mind sharing your scripts with the community ? The pipeline is currently very tied to Ftrack, so a directly usage on other projects using other tools, wouldn't work. I'm going to work on separating the two into a Pyblish extension so everyone can pick it up ...

I know that Ethel and Ernest's production used Hobsoft too. What is precisely the difference between both ? Short answer is preference:) Ftrack was used internally at Cloth Cat Animation, where the painting, compositing and CG was done. Hobsoft was used at Lupus and external vendors. We got the tv ...

Ahh, yes, good point :D I've updated the video with subtitles about the specifics about what is happening. Outside what is shown in the video, the publishing will also update Ftrack with the rendered frames and notify the user that the render was complete. The pipeline was used extensively on the pa...

Hey, Wanted to share the pipeline we used at Cloth Cat Animation, developed by me using George( http://wiki.tvpaint.com/index.php?title=George ), Python( https://www.python.org/ ), Ftrack( https://www.ftrack.com/ ) and Pyblish(http://pyblish.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return fal...

Thanks Elodie for clarifying.

Are there any plans to support this feature? Either export in the background while being able to work, or having two sessions of tvp open?

Maybe a minimal headless (no ui) command line tool, that can export the images.

All other software I have encountered offer render licenses either included with a workstation licence or sold separately.

Sorry, I was using "render" wrongly here. I meant exporting images. We would like to export images and work at the same time. We having a lot of artists using the dongle licenses, and we don't want the artists to have to wait while exporting. We currently use Deadline to export images, on ...

Is there no way of getting two instances of TVP running on the same machine? We currently have a lot of dongle licenses, that is being used by artists during the day. We don't want them to stop working to render. I tried with virtual machines, but the usb can't be shared simultanously between the ho...

Well, I tried to find a way to manage them, but finally it's a limitation of george scripts -_-

Then another of working around this problem would be to have the ability to pass arguments to scripts. Is this possible with george script?

More to this. The problem actually seems to be with whitespace before or after the quotation marks.

Thanks Mike:)

Your code works, but the problem is when you have the quotation marks at the beginning of the string;

Thanks Sven:) I tried setting the quotation marks before, but it just seems to ignore it when writing to disk. Here a test case; script = 'somethingInQuotes' script = '"'script'"' PRINT script tv_WriteTextFile "Create" "C:\Users\toke.jepsen\Desktop\temp.txt" script It p...

Maybe it also could run Python Scripts?

You probably could, else you could run a bat file that runs the python script:)

Thank you Mads:) That worked a treat! So what I'm having a some trouble with now, is how to write double quotation marks. The current workflow is to write a temporary bat file, and run it. This way I can add arguments to the bat file and "tv_runscript" to run the bat file. I'm passing in t...
